Space Pirates and Zombies?

Happy birthday Cat.
Sorry, I don't have a mouse for you. Tabata has proven tricky at capturing.

Using Photoshop to make pixel art, is like trying to dig a small hole for your flowers using an excavator machine.

Of course if you're wanting to make something a lot more detailed than pixel art, then Photoshop and Illustrator are definitely the way to go.

Welcome to the forums ArsCreativa.
I look forward to seeing what you make.

Group hug.... Now go on a make and game

Hey, if any people in this topic want to make Group Hug: The Game in AGS, I'll happily contribute ideas and dialogue!

I would gladly contribute in any way I can as well.

Ooh that "Paint of Persia" looks useful. I might see about using that one day, and actually try my hand at rotoscoping.

Thanks Retro Wolf, I'm going to try out that pixelator program. I'm not going to use it for my game as it is commercial and then would require me to spend actual money, but it gives me an idea for a music video! (Kinda like this interesting sounding Paint of Persia thing but quicker, eh!)

I tried using Pixelator once. I found that it required more time and effort to perfect the settings so you got something that looked as good as the examples shown on the website, than it did to just scale it down using nearest neighbour, and edit it yourself.
But that was just my experience.

* Jumps onto the group and gives them a big hug

I hope I didn't break anyone's back by doing that.

Ugh, I hate those types of puzzles. They're just pure logic. I'm the kind of guy, who when he was a kid, instead of putting the shapes in the right holes, instead tried to force the wrong shape so much, that the lid came off and I could easily put all of the shapes in.

I did that as a kid, and I operate under the same logic to this day.

Storyboarding (if any): I use yED for my puzzle-dependency charts, as well as notepad and Microsoft Word for writing down the basic plot and any ideas I might have.
Paint Backgrounds: Paint.NET.
Make Sprites: Paint.NET
Make Animations: Paint.NET, sometimes Asesprite to help with the visualisation.
Sound Effects: I either use Bfxr and edit it slightly with Audacity, or I simply record something straight onto Audacity
Music: I've got this brilliant midi music generator called Diatonic Composer, which I usually use to make my music before I edit it slightly using Anvil Studio.

Good thing I don't use Windows 10.

Look, apart from a bit of controversy from that "Where`s m0ds?" thread, where I think Snarky did a good job at explaining himself. I see no reason for this attack on Snarky.
Sure, he can get a bit "snarky" at times, but so can I and quite a few others here on this forum.

If you think Snarky is bad, you clearly haven't been to many forums. I can name all of the forum assholes I've encountered during my time on the internet (seriously, they are a memorable bunch), and no one on this forum even comes close to any of them in terms of behaviour.

In other words, I think this all seems rather uncalled for if you ask me.

(I had to change that last line a lot, because it just didn't make any sense to me.)





I like chess, it helps me relax...
one or two games on my favorite chess-portal and I feel great again
let's begin
after a few tactical moves...
haha!!! what a noob! I will checkmate him in four moves!
This guy is bloody weak, I could beat him without seeing the board!
Oh yeah! Let's change to blind mode!
You will be astonished soon...
one...
two...
three..
and f#ck, how could I miss it!!!

I only heard about the first. I guess I'm not the target audience for these things.

Ha ha, same here.
And here I thought the only things Microsoft made these days was the Surface Pro, the Xbox, and the Windows operating system.

Ok, I'm definitely going to have to play that game.
Something that weird and creepy has got to be interesting.

I love that first one. It's so beautiful.
I'd have that on my wall, if real life pictures could animate.

A big reason the majority of suicide victims are men...

Isn't the other side of that stat that the majority of suicide attempts are by women? So it wouldn't really match your theory.

That just proves men are better than women at everything.

I'm sorry. I am so very sorry. I just could not resist that. It was right there, and I would have regretted not taking it.
Please accept my apology. I'll leave now.

I find Edge to be a decently competent browser that sheds some of the IE woes of the past. Some.

All they did was change the name.
They didn't even bother to change the logo.
Not that I blame them though. The IE logo is a classic.

Shadow Warrior 2 is free on gog for the next day or so.

I voted for Firewatch. SW2 is crap. Not your fault, though (unless you voted for it  )

We could vote!

Have you ever considered that people can't deal with the realities of life any more because they are raised in a coddled bubble?

Sticks and stones.

Dude, seriously?
The correct response is "Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. I just couldn't pass up on that joke."
No need to get all defensive about what is and what isn't a good time to make a dark joke.

Here's my proof reading:

3. Mandela effect
I was on my way home at night
I stopped because I had to empty my bladder, when suddenly…
I threw a coin inside…
If the ground doesn't exist, I could jump in
… but I heard nothing
So I did without hesitation
I was falling and falling until a light at the end appeared
I felt like I had been thrown upwards, losing all speed
Next morning
Contrary to appearances it turned out, that I've ended up in a parallel universe
